Elk

Bear, Elk, and Deer--three animals that have never walked a straight line through a meadow, yet here we are, a reasonably straight line of trails through adjacent meadows named after said animals. All three are climbs when starting from Bobcat. Don't worry, it's a gradual, steady climb up and a wide open descent on the way back. Dodging prairie dogs and their holes are the trail features. The wildflowers can also be a feature for those so inclined. The last bit of Bear features a rooty climb. No bueno? Then skip Coyote and enjoy the descent back! The random large rocks/tiny boulders and trees of Deer make it the best descent of the three. Lynx 1 (Deer--Elk) and Lynx 2 (Elk-Bear) provide cut throughs for those not wanting to hit Coyote and are more interesting than your meadow spin--unless, of course, you saw a bear, elk, or deer.
